TOKYO, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Renault SA (RENA.PA) and Nissan Motor Co (7201.T) are set to forgo a Wednesday announcement of a deal to restructure their automotive alliance as they struggle to bridge their differences, three people familiar with the matter said. The French and Japanese carmakers remained apart on how to share intellectual property, the people, who declined to be named, said. Renault and Nissan declined to comment. The companies have been aiming to announce the new alliance structure as early as this month, Reuters reported this week. The question of how to share technology and intellectual property has proved to be a sticking point in the talks.
